The major histocompatibility complex (MHC<span>) is a set of cell surface proteins essential for the acquired immune system to recognize foreign molecules in vertebrates, which in turn determines histocompatibility. ... The human </span>MHC<span> is also called the </span>HLA<span> (human leukocyte antigen) complex (often just the </span>HLA<span>).</span>
Monoploid organisms reproduce asexually since they need to transmit all of their genetic material to their offspring. Diploid organisms, have 2 copies of their genetic material that differ slightly in their genes. Since the progeny gets half of the DNA from each parent, we have that new combinations can emerge; for example, if the mother is AA for some allele and the father aa, their offspring will be Aa, a new genotype. This might have different implications (for example, the recessive gene for thalassemia also provides resistance to malaria). Finally, during meiosis, there is also an event called crossover that increases the genetic variation of the offspring.

These are just a few of many, but all abiotic factors are not living. Hence A-Biotic
Biotic means living, so when you put the ''a'' prefix it means the opposite of living.
The correct answer is - lung cancer.
The asbestos is a material that has been used very often in the past, mostly for making water pipes and roofs. Few decades ago it was proven that the asbestos actually breaks down into microscopic little pieces that are extremely dangerous. This little pieces, if inhaled, can gradually result in the development of a lung cancer. Because of what the research had shown, lot of people and institutions were in panic, so urgent and quick measures were taken in order to change the water pipes and the roofs.
